So - this is kinda funny (KINDA since I'm not all that comfy right now)...thought I'd post this as a mildy humorous warning to others like me!
I do believe I OD'd on Luna Bars tonight. I know they're highly recommended for most folks with IBS. But I feel pretty sure that they're not supposed to be eaten THREE AT A TIME on an EMPTY STOMACH. Big oops. But it was an enjoyable oops.
Nutz Over Chocolate is my absolute fave. They go down really easily, even when I'm not officially hungry. Problem is that they're so good, I forget that they're not granola bars...and before I know it, 3 wrappers are sitting in front of me.
So now, with all the additive nutrients, I'm not surprised I'm awfully "rumbly" in the lower ab region. Gas, mild cramping, I can feel my GI track "dancing" & spasming too. Not horrible...but not ideal, for sure.
So - take this as a friendly warning. Watch out!

Boy can I identify! When I first started on those things I lost control. It is nice to have a safe snack around or in my purse. Hope you feel better soon!

Because I covet my small supply that I get from the US (thanks to Heather7476 and Nelly) as they can't be got over here I used to sometimes only eat half a bar.
I adored Chocolate Peppermint Stick and was a fan of Choc Pecan Pie and nutz over chocolate and smores...I can't stand the fruity ones though.
I can tolerate one on an empty stomach but three is probably a bit OTT
Hope you are feeling better.

Remember, that 3 of them would be about 15 grams of fat at one sitting. Be careful with those. I've never had one...but have read how wonderful they taste.
